For about a week, in between Kino Šiška, osmo/zo and Slovenska kinoteka, you will be able to catch a glimpse of Adela – a transitional state that, in its unravelling of generative systems, will this year lean towards the practices of sustainable computing (permacomputing), establishing a media-archaeological dialogue with machines and invoking the latent potentials of analogicity.
In this edition, Adela probes and models generative analogue-digital entanglements that fuse traditional techniques with automated processes, thus widening the field of generativity across divisions between the virtual and the material, the mechanical and the computational.
DATE: 28 May–2 June 2024

Before Adela officialy opens, we present Virtual Ground, an exhibition that presents new artistic productions of the young generation of artists who, by fictioning, go beyond existing narratives, infrastructures and material predeterminations in the formation of unknown grounds, where the present branches into alternate courses of future histories. Virtual Ground features works by Dorijan Šiško, Maja Bojanić, Matej Mihevc and Lara Žagar.
Free entry.
